Theocracy uses trumpet to command; Aid explains
He explained how sounding a trumpet could create fear among people such as thunderous sounds or those signifying war but also bring about unity between individuals like man and wife or institutions.
Led by their spiritual leader, the Founder, along with Father, Mother and Pastors, members of the Seventh Day Theocratic World Congregation gathered at their church headquarters in Homedakrom (Shalom Shalom) located in the Eastern Region to celebrate the 1st Ethanim on August 30, 2023.
Amidst singing, dancing and prayer while waving palm fronds adorned with white clothing and flower petals, congregants rejoiced for entering a new month while blowing trumpets.
During this celebration, Apostle Dr. Kadmiel E.H. Agbalenyoh addressed attendees regarding the importance of sounding trumpets as commanded by God Almighty. He said Trumpets were used to signify various events such as starting or ending wars, or announcing sacrifices required by God. Inhabitants of earth become alarmed when they hear trumpet sounds until they understand why it is being blown (Amos 3:6).
The apostle stated that during New Month’s ceremonies such as this one where Psalm 81:3-4 was memorialized under the theme “Seventh New Month Confirms Temple Ordinance,”individuals should acknowledge and study what is happening around them when trumpets are sounded so that they can be prepared for any potential danger.
Furthermore, he explained how sounding a trumpet could create fear among people such as thunderous sounds or those signifying war but also bring about unity between individuals like man and wife or institutions.
Ultimately lessons on blowing trumpets help prepare members for salvation through an understanding of how to respond appropriately when hearing these sounds.
